Shade-grown Arabica and Robusta from India’s coffee heartland
Coffee Board of India Premium Grade AA. Third-party quality certification on every shipment.
Origin Story
India is one of the few places on earth where coffee grows entirely in shade. Cultivated under a canopy of native and spice trees across the Western Ghats and beyond, Indian coffee is shaped by a biodiversity-first tradition that directly influences cup character — producing beans of remarkable body, balance, and distinctiveness.
Aveem’s Indian line brings premium-grade Arabica and Robusta into the same trusted trading framework as our Colombian supply: sourced from established estates, processed to Coffee Board of India export standards, and certified by third-party analysis on every shipment. Built for roasters and blenders seeking origin character with export-grade consistency.

Growing Regions
India's most established coffee-producing state, accounting for the majority of the country's production. Its principal growing districts — Chikmagalur, Coorg (Kodagu), and Hassan — sit in the Western Ghats, where high elevations, monsoon rhythms, and dense shade canopies create ideal conditions for both Arabica and Robusta.
Why India
Indian coffee occupies a unique position in the global market — combining centuries-old growing traditions with one of the world's most rigorous national grading systems.
Grown under native tree canopies rather than open sun — slower maturation, richer character, and a farming model that supports biodiversity.
Arabica at higher elevations, Robusta at lower. Washed (wet processed) and Natural (sun-dried) methods across the portfolio.
Loading from Nhava Sheva or Mangalore, with direct container routes to the Middle East and beyond — backed by third-party certification in line with Coffee Board of India and ICO standards.
Our Coffees
Two signature Indian grades from shade-grown Karnataka estates — each processed for a distinct cup profile and application.
Both grades certified to Coffee Board of India Premium Grade AA, with third-party quality certification on every shipment.
Indian green coffee is classified by the Coffee Board of India across four tiers, based on bean size, defect tolerance, and processing method.
| Tier | Includes |
|---|---|
| Commercial | PB, A, B, C — standard export grades |
| Premium | AA (Screen 18), PB Bold — tighter sieve and defect standards |
| Specialty | Mysore Nuggets EB, Robusta Kaapi Royale, Monsooned Malabar |
| Miscellaneous | Bulk Liberica and Excelsia |
AA is the highest sieve-size classification in India's Premium tier — a minimum of 90% by weight retained on Screen 18 (7.10 mm). It applies to both our washed Arabica (Plantation AA) and our unwashed Robusta (Robusta Cherry AA).
